England’s ongoing Ashes series has caught the attention of Gareth Southgate, the head coach of the England football team, who made an interesting observation about the first day of the series. According to Southgate, England’s decision to declare at 393/8 on Day 1 made them the first team in his lifetime to do so. The move was widely considered a bold one, but it showed the team’s mindset going into the series.
Southgate commended England’s approach to the game, stating that their mindset has been a big factor in their recent performances. He also acknowledged the quality of both teams, with several players he thinks would make a World XI. He mentioned that there has been a shift in how they are playing, pointing to England’s aggressive tactics and mindset.
Meanwhile, Australia’s Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green remained unbeaten at tea break on Day 2, with the team sitting at 188/4. Stuart Broad has taken two wickets so far. It will be interesting to see how the series plays out, and whether England’s declaration will prove to be the right decision in the end. The Ashes series is an exciting event for cricket fans, and Southgate’s comments only add to the excitement surrounding this much-anticipated series.
